Honey Whole Wheat Bread Bowls

Meredith & Derek. Because really, what would Grey’s Anatomy be without them?

Brandy & Monica. Yeah, don’t even try to tell me I was the only one who lip synced to “The Boy is Mine” with their best friends in the 90’s.

And yes, my personal favorite: Bread & Soup.

Sure, that last combination may sound boring after you started getting catchy 90’s songs stuck in your head, but to me, it never gets old. There are so many different types of breads to be made and soups to be stirred, that a combination of the two is always something I want to enjoy.

You’ve seen it here before. I have made my own soups and breads countless times, and often made them to serve together. But I had never taken the dinnerware out of the occasion. Until now.

Enter the bread bowl. Basically my favorite thing to eat. Forget the china and ceramic bowls. This bread bowl is sturdy, absorbs all that flavor you worked so hard to create and leaves no dishes behind to wash!

These bread bowls were actually fun to make and such a hit when served! If you’ve made any type of yeast bread before (and even if you haven’t- now is the time!) then you can definitely manage this. The loaves are simply shaped and cut differently to hold the soup. It makes eating a typical bowl of soup so much more fun and even encourages eating with your fingers!

This recipe comes from How Sweet It Is. The only change I made was using whole wheat pastry flour rather that whole wheat flour (this gives the bread a slightly lighter texture).

You wanna know another dynamic duo? Snacking & Giving Back.

KIND bars has partnered with Arianna Huffington, Bobbi Brown and Grace Potter on a new campaign entitled “Snack and Give Back” encouraging others to snack smart and give back this holiday season. Two goals I definitely support!

Pictured below is the Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan. This was absolutely delicious. There was a generous layer of dark chocolate on the bottom, topped with nuts, cinnamon and more chocolate. This, along with the Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt have quickly become some of my favorite bars to snack on!

Using random.org: the winner of the NuNaturals Giveaway is Renata, the winner of the Cascal giveaway is Managed Macros, and the winner of the Edwards Pie is Boise Runner!

It’s hard to beat soup in a bread bowl. I’m so impressed that you made your own!

What pretty bread bowls!

All combos you mention are great, well, maybe you should have mentioned Karen and Denis (Out of Africa), or Frankie and Johnny, jajaja.
Anyway, I love soups with bread too, and I was wondering if you learn how to make “Sopas de ajo” when you were here in Spain during that period of time….

My favourite dynamic duo is mac and cheese, or focaccia bread with balsamic/oil (which I guess is trio, but I’m counting it anyway!).

I know it’s typical… but peanut butter and jelly.. I can’t get over it, I love it even more when there’s sliced banana and a sprinkle of cinnamon!
